resize a Windows NT4 partition
Hi All,
Drive C's free space is only 100 megabytes left. Drive D and E has a total of 10 Gig free space. I want to resize drive c maybe double or triple the 2 gig capacity. I have tried searching info but it requires partition magic to do the task. Could you recommend a free software available for download? |

Thanks for the replies. |

NT4 with 2 gigs sounds like it was formatted in FAT16, which would mean you can't expand the size of the partition since FAT16 is limited to about 2GB. Hopefully it is formatted in NTFS.

DragonNOA1, yup you're right. What I diid was convert FAT16 to NTFS by using convert.exe. (NTFS is not supported by Ranish Partition Manager) From there I used a spare hard disk drive and Norton Ghost. Resized the C partition of the destination drive.
Now I have a huge 7.7 Gig C drive. |
